“Joe, you are a very old dog,” said policeman Fred. “Today is your birthday again. I
remember that you were 14 years old last year. But you are still the best police dog in the
world!”
“ARF! ARF!” barked Joe.
“You are welcome,” said Fred. “Now let's get your birthday dinner. Show me where
you want to eat.”
Joe led Fred down the street. Good smells came from all the eating places. But Joe
walked on. At last he stopped at a small place. He smelled around the door. Then he
pushed the door open.
“Is this where you want to eat?” asked Fred. But Joe did not bark an answer. He put
his nose to the floor and ran across the room. Then he jumped on a man at a table!
“Good boy, Joe!” said Fred. Joe and Fred have looked for the robber for ten years.
“And now you have found him!”
Joe and Fred took the robber to the police station. Then Fred said, “All right, Joe, you
have done your work. Well done! Congratulations. Now do you want that birthday

正确答案：A
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in
the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having
breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and
requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls
made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he 4
assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates
its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel
they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only
three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other
areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far
in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend
to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus,
misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time
differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people
are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the
U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it
would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of
explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
